The pressure is mounting before the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, on this penultimate day of the Champions League. This is particularly the case for Luis Enrique, who recently made a fairly notable outing about his style of play, which provoked strong reactions… and not only from observers of the Parisian club!
Certainly, the PSG can never calmly approach a major European meeting. A new controversy surrounds this Wednesday's clash against the Manchester City of Pep Guardiolathe result of which will determine the future of Paris in Champions League. And the culprit is none other than Luis Enrique…
The strange exit of Luis Enrique
At the microphone of Canal+the coach of PSG actually had a rather surreal exchange with the journalist Olivier Tallaron. The latter asked him why unlike Guardiolahe does not use a number 9 like Erling Haalandto which he notably replied: “ What is their center forward called? Number 9? What is the Manchester City striker's name? The name of number 9? “. Some saw this as a thinly disguised tackle on his only remaining striker, who is Gonçalo Ramos.
“It bothered some people at PSG”
Obviously, the criticism was quick to arrive, but this time there is a more significant reaction… since the PSG would not have really appreciated Luis Enrique's statement! “ I tell you, internally, at Paris Saint-Germain, it upset some people a little. This is reality. It bothered some people at PSG » said Jerome Rothenwho says he is quite close to the high circles of Paris, in his show Rothen ignites on RMC Sport.
